Hear me out. A few games have shader installations that will usually apply any new settings you put down AFTER you restart the game, and a lot of other games have graphics settings that will only apply after you’ve rebooted the game.

I don’t think it would cost developers ANY amount of money or any significant development time to add a “Reboot game” button (or toggle) every time the player presses the quit button, or give the player a prompt every time they change a setting that requires a game restart (like in both PC versions of GTA V).

I also think ANY game should have a “full potato” mode capable of running in older computers with NONE of the fancy graphics stuff that we have access to today, despite having a decent computer now.

      I mean, in the same vein, just have age rating settings on games where applicable. Sometimes I want as much adult in my adult game as possible, other ones I want just good old fashioned fun. Overall I want sensorship to fucking quit it. Especially lately where they’re going back to games that were developed one way and sensoring them when they do HD remakes. Fucking stupid

        Agree but then that’s extra B’s in development which I’m sure most studios dgaf about.

      Even if some people aren’t, no one is getting psychologically damaged by the sight of some digital boobs. Puritanical attitudes toward sex do more damage than seeing boobs ever could.

        “Sure, kids, all those limbs flying around and buckets of blood, as long as your parents are cool with it (or you just forget to tell them about it). All that stuff representing causing excruciating pain and ending lives. But not one tiny sliver of a nipple for you, or else your mind will be CORRUPTED!”

        For fuck’s sake, autocorrect changed “nipple” to “ripple” while I was typing that.
